Thank you so much. You have given me a true spiritual uplift in that for
once I can see management as being on the right side of the equation and
not
the kinds of upes we see at GM. I admire Boeing, in spite of the problems,
as one of the US's greatest example of overall excellence. Look at them...
standing alone against a European consortium of socialistic money and
against every US labor regulation and insane environmental and OSHA rules
still staying on top of the pyramid.

Thanks!

Standing alone with the aid of $2Billion per year in government subsidies!
Your tax dollars at work, a triumph of free market lobbying :-)

And with all that money they still can't manage to convert to the
measurement
systems that the rest of the industrialised world uses. Quite sad really.


Why should they bother? Heck, you can't even convert your pints of beer. g

But "why should they bother" really is a serious question, Mark. Please,
tell us.
